    Potential Sale of 2/87 BMW M6

    I will be selling my 1987 BMW M6 this spring, as hard as it is to part with this car I must become more rational with car ownership. It has been a great tinker-toy since 2007, but I realize I cannot financially justify such a beautiful shark and would like to pass it on to someone who has the hands and/or the money to get her towards restored shape. With all that written, I'm curious what maladies should be fixed presale in the hopes of achieving some bang for the buck.

    Just before putting this car in the garage for the winter, the major troubles included a power steering leak, bad passenger side body to window seal, front control arms, an untraced fuel smell, and a leaky catalytic converter/muffler.
    Though since purchasing this car in 2007 I have only driven it 8,000 miles and have replaced:
    1. the self leveling suspension with 635i Sport shocks/springs (The SLS is all available as parts)
    2. The Instrument Cluster Circuit Board
    3. The Starter with a Bosch remanfactured from BavAuto
    4. The Alternator
    5. The Stereo was professionally replaced with an Alpine USB headunit/power amp/speakers
    6. The Valve Lash was adjusted around 5,000 miles ago, all measurements were done with a metric micrometer/feeler gauges
    7. High/Low Pressure Power steering lines from PS Pump to reservoir/PS Pump to Hydroboost Block.
    8. Valve Cover Gasket
    9. Oil Pan Gasket (That was a real PITA)
    10. Cap/Rotor/Plugs/Hi Perf. Wires all from BavAuto
    11. All Coolant Hoses/Radiator/Thermostat/ T-stat Housing
    12. Main/Transfer Fuel Pump/Fuel Filter
    13. Front Brake Calipers Rebuilt
    14. Stainless Brake Hoses installed
    15. 4 Yokohama ES100's installed just after purchasing car, rear tires have irreparable negative camber wear
    16. Air Filter
    17. Both Oil Cooler Lines/Oil Filter Distribution Gasket Replaced

    That's all I could think of off the top of my head, I had a maintenance table available but my hard-drive crashed, A chronological booklet of receipts will be available once a sale price is determined. If a more concise maintenance table is found I will be sure to give it up.

    We're supposed to have a 46 degree day tomorrow with only partly cloudy skies. If the weather report is accurate I will get the car out for brandy new photos. If your schedule is free enough maybe we could go on a test drive!
